Issues fixed

Memory allocation crash

Game crashes due to a memory allocation error even with the required 8 GB of RAM.
Increase Windows page file to a fixed size (e.g. 8192 MB)[1]
See this community guide from Tom's Hardware on how to change the page file.

Long loading times

Exclusive fullscreen with Vsync enabled may cause progress bar in loading screens to stall near the end.
Disable VSync[1]
Use windowed/borderless fullscreen mode[1]
These fixes shorten loading times, especially when launching the game for the first time.

Game crashes and returns to Windows

Savegames folder fix[citation needed]
  1. Go to <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\368070\remote\savegames\.
  2. Create a backup savegames folder.
  3. Launch game and exit.
  4. Copy the backup savegames folder to <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\368070\remote\savegames\ and paste and replace.
